Energy
Purpose
ENERGY…. We have the ability to break down organic compounds and,
as a result, transfer the energy from the bonds of those compounds into
the manufacture of tiny, high energy compounds (e.g., ATP) that can be
used for a wide variety of reactions in a cell. In this post, you will
demonstrate an understanding of how energy is released from organic
compounds.
